Is there a way to determine the line number and the page number of each replacement? Can a petten be supplied instead of the actual text? For example the format of say credit cards which could be four sets of 4 numbers like NNNN NNNN NNNN NNNN OR mixture of numbers and letters like LLL NNN?

  Word doesn't really "think" in terms of page numbers or line numbers. The pagination (including how the lines wrap on the page) is determined dynamically, and constantly, as the content is updated. If by "line" you mean "paragraph" (meaning that each new entry is in its own paragraph) then you have some more options. And yes, a pattern most certainly can be supplied. My book contains detailed instructions for using both built-in "wildcard" patterns, and more powerful "regular expressions". For basic wildcard info, check out http://word.mvps.org/faqs/General/UsingWildcards.htm.
